Part Time Extended Unit Internship

NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital offers a part-time extended unit internship that requires a minimum of 400 supervised hours of ministry practice and learning. The program begins in mid-October and spans the academic year. It includes at least 14 hours a week of clinical work with patients and families and approximately 4 hours a week of educational seminars that are scheduled weekdays in the afternoon or early evening.

Participants include seminarians, qualified laypeople, members of religious orders, and other students who have the motivation and appropriate preparation for ministry and who want to learn in a multi-faith, collegial and challenging setting. The curriculum focuses on competencies in pastoral care skills, self-awareness, interpersonal relating, and ministry development. Each student designs an individualized learning contract. Seminars provide a context for the review of pastoral encounters, the exploration of patient and peer relationships, and in-depth learning through group and individual supervision regarding pastoral practice.
